The Florida Legislature is reviewing several bills for the 2026 Legislative Session that could change how property taxes work statewide. These proposals may affect the amount of property tax revenue received by cities, including the Town of Lake Park. Because property taxes help pay for important local services, such as law enforcement, parks, public works, and other daily operations, the Town is sharing this information so residents can stay informed and review the official documents directly.

Why This Matters for Lake Park

Early estimates from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser’s Office show that several of the proposed bills could significantly reduce the Town’s future property tax revenue.

A reduction in revenue could lead to:

• Lower service levels
• Higher taxes for properties that do not receive new exemptions
• Possible increases to fees
• Less ability for the Town to add new improvements, capital projects, or community services
